Torre Speaks

Joe Torre minced no words talking about the rejected Yankees offer. He thought the incentives were an insult.

"The fact that somebody is reducing your salary is just telling me they're not satisfied with what you're doing," Torre said Friday at a packed news conference. "There really was no negotiation involved. I was hoping there would be, but there wasn't.

"If somebody wants you to do a job, if it takes them two weeks to figure out, yeah, we want to do this, should do this, yeah, you're a little suspicious," he added. "If somebody wanted me to manage here, I would be managing here."

He reserve praise for Cashman. I wonder if he'll catch on with another team, and how much money he'd want.

Hi David,

What is this rumor? I hear that Joe Torre may sign with the Mets? I hope not for Willie Randolph's sake but if it is true that Joe may sign with the Mets it can only be a good thing. Let me know if it is true or a rumor and what are your thoughts.
